Please suggest hotels in Iran that can be booked without a deposit?
We booked a hotel in Kum Jamil, I wrote to them on WhatsApp that I needed a booking for the visa, they arranged it without any problems
Why is a hotel without a reservation necessary?
Heritage
Thank you!
They have a prepayment with Tinkoff.
@Svetlana: so is it there or not? please let me know
@Yulia: Visit their website, you will definitely read everything there)) heritage - hospitality . com
@Anton: Because the route may change upon arrival, and in that case, I would like to be able to cancel without any losses.
Without prepayment?
@Yulia: Yes
@Svetlana: Well, and to obtain a visa, you also need to book accommodation, but it's not a fact that you will end up staying there.
@Yulia: For the visa, you fill in one place on the application, no bookings are required at the consulate.
@Svetlana: So if I leave the phone number of the booked hotel, won’t they check it?
@Svetlana: Okay, thank you very much.
@Yulia: No, they won’t check. You can specify the address of any hotel. There have been several cases when a booking was required when obtaining a visa, but for now, this is not widespread.
@Andy: Thank you!
@Yulia: They don't check. That's why they give entry)
@ayar: Thank you!
@Yulia: they can check, I had a refusal
@Daniil: Your refusal was most likely for another reason.
@IRINa: no, that's exactly why
@Daniil: What was written? Contact the agency? And where was the visa payment?
@IRINa: The place of residence is not confirmed.
@Daniil: Well, a phrase like "insufficient proof of residency, please contact the agency." The question is different - where did you apply for the visa?
@IRINa: Nothing seems to have been written about the agency. Obtaining at the consulate.
@Daniil: In which city is the consulate?
@IRINa: Batumi
@Daniil: Here we finally got to the reason for the failure.
@IRINa: So the reason was written that there is no confirmation from the hotel (I wrote the address from Google Maps)
@Daniil: The phrase about the hotel is standard for a refusal. The real reason is that you applied not in Russia. So don’t scare those who are applying in Moscow. Your case is completely different.
@IRINa: So, are there cases of hotel booking cancellations not in the Russian Federation?
@Daniil: When applying not in Russia, there is often a rejection and a request to contact the agency. If a real booking helped you - that's good. But in general, this is the policy of the Iranian Foreign Ministry.
@Yulia: They won't.
@Yulia: I can't answer for the consulate employee, but there were people here who inserted the address and phone number from Google. For reliability, you can make a reservation in Tehran, and then not worry too much and solve this issue closer to the dates.
@Yulia: You can book the very first accommodation, and then contact and book in the next city by phone as needed. Make a list in advance of places where you would like to stay so you don't have to search while in Iran, and can call/write to the intended place. But here it’s important not to hit the Iranian weekends. Yes, it may be a riskier option, but it can also be considered)
@Yulia: For the visa, any hotel can be indicated. Without booking all hotels, they will still give an entry visa, not a tourist one.
